Guilty plea over anti-Semitic abuse on London bus
A man has pleaded guilty to a racially aggravated public order offence after shouting anti-Semitic abuse on a bus carrying Jewish schoolchildren.
Ian Campbell, of Bowes Road, N11, was charged last month following the incident on a 102 bus in north London.
He allegedly shouted: “I hate the Jews, burn them. I’m going to burn this bus.”
He also reportedly saying the traffic was “the Jews’ fault”.
He appeared at Hendon Magistrates Court this morning and was bailed until 31 October when he will be sentenced.
